Gadgets, Google Nexus One | featured news

Sprint Nextel Corp. confirmed that it was backing away from making Google Inc.'s Nexus One handset available on its network.

This just in from mobile analytics company Flurry: Nexus One sales are still flopping. After 74 days on the market, Flurry estimates that Google has sold 135,000 Nexus Ones. In its first 74 days on the market, the Droid sold 1.05 million units. In the iPhone's first 74 days on the market, it sold 1 million units.

As expected, HTC has unleashed a slew of Android smartphones here at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and I have to admit they're looking really good.

So why did Google wait all this time to implement multi-touch when its devices have been capable of it since the G1? With Apple and Google now fighting, all bets are apparently off.
